Locking wheel nut removal?

[SG1]

Does anyone know of a company or individual who can remove them as I was never given the key! Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated.

Assuming they are the original bolts, go to your local MB dealer with the V5 and proof of ID. They have a master set of keys and will order the correct one for you.

The wheels have been changed and are not original so I'm pretty certain the nuts aren't either but they still look like Mercedes so maybe still worth a try

If no joy at mb, most tyre fitting places will have a reverse threaded removal socket. Only problem is you will need new locking nuts after.

I think that's my best bet, I just need to look around and visit a few places!

You can usually hammer an old (undersized) socket over the bolt and remove them that way. It will ruin your socket though.

My brother had to do this on his car last year... he lost the key

I tried that earlier but didn't have a socket which was correct, either too small or too big!

There are now 100 odd diff mb locking nut keys, used to be a set of 40 but they brought new ones out about 5 years back, I would try dealers first

I might try my local MB dealer but not sure if I'll have any luck as the wheels have definitely been changed at some point as they aren't original but still worth a try.

There are 25 , I had to go and get one last year after leaving mine at the side of the road. MB Tech came out , started at number one and just went through thill he found the right one.

They aren't cheap though
